When Will Notion IPO? A First Board After a Decade Without One

By Segmara Research · Published September 27, 2026

As of September 26, 2026, Notion has not filed a registration statement, an S-1, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, whose EDGAR database tracks only US filings, and the company has not set an IPO date. On June 8, 2026, Notion named its first-ever board of directors, appointing five independent members, Jonathan Chadwick, Pat Grady, Gretchen Howard, Christopher Payne, and Patrick Hsu, its first board in more than a decade. Alex Konrad reported the appointment for Upstarts the same day and called it a step toward an eventual IPO, and Notion's own blog confirmed the move that day too, with CEO Ivan Zhao naming all five directors. Nearly three months later, on September 2, 2026, Crunchbase News' predictive-intelligence tool flagged Notion as a strong candidate for a near-term IPO, citing reported strong revenue growth from its enterprise-AI offerings and the new board as steps toward going public. None of that is a filing. Track SEC EDGAR and Notion's own newsroom directly, not third-party predictions or rumors.

Key points

A first board, not a listing date

On June 8, 2026, Notion named its first-ever board of directors, appointing five independent members: Jonathan Chadwick, Pat Grady, Gretchen Howard, Christopher Payne, and Patrick Hsu. Alex Konrad reported the appointments for Upstarts that day and described the move as a step toward an eventual IPO, and Notion's first formal board in more than a decade.

That reporting describes a governance change, not a public offering. No S-1 or F-1 has been filed for Notion with the SEC as of September 26, 2026, and SEC EDGAR only tracks US filings, so it would not show a listing prepared for another market either.

The company confirmed it itself

Notion's own company blog corroborated Konrad's reporting the same day. CEO Ivan Zhao named all five new independent directors in a June 8, 2026 post, confirming the appointments directly rather than leaving them to outside reporting alone.

Zhao's post and Konrad's article ran on the same day and named the same five directors, so the two accounts corroborate each other on who is on the board and when it formed. Neither one sets a timeline for when, or whether, Notion will file to go public.

A predictive flag, not an announcement

Nearly three months later, on September 2, 2026, Crunchbase News published an article using its predictive-intelligence tool to name companies it views as likely to go public. The tool flagged Notion as a strong candidate for a near-term IPO, pointing to reported strong revenue growth from Notion's enterprise-AI offerings and the new board appointment as its basis.

That is Crunchbase News' own analysis, built from public reporting and its own data, not a statement from Notion about timing. The only way to verify an actual filing is to check SEC EDGAR directly, or Notion's own newsroom and blog, rather than relying on a predictive score.

Search intent

Searches like 'When Will Notion IPO? A First Board After a Decade Without One' are research questions: what a filing or a company statement confirms, what has only been reported, and what is still unknown.

What counts as a listing step

For an IPO, the primary record is a registration statement filed with the securities regulator of the listing market, such as an S-1 or F-1 on SEC EDGAR for a US listing. Funding rounds, valuations and secondary-market prices are context, not listing steps.

How a company reaches a US listing

The SEC filing trail

DraftThe company can first submit a draft registration statement (DRS) for confidential SEC review.

S-1 or F-1The registration statement goes public on SEC EDGAR: Form S-1, or Form F-1 for many foreign companies. A company that used a draft must file publicly at least 15 days before its roadshow.

AmendmentsS-1/A or F-1/A amendments answer SEC comments, and one of them adds the expected price range.

PricingOnce the SEC declares the registration effective, the company sets the price with its underwriters and files the final prospectus, usually a 424B4.

First tradeThe shares start trading on the exchange named in the prospectus, such as Nasdaq or the NYSE.

Risk notes

Rumor risk: unofficial dates, valuations, or funding details circulating on social media or forums are frequently wrong or outdated and should not be treated as confirmation of anything.
Illiquidity risk: any private-market interest, indicative marks, or pre-IPO share arrangements in a company that has not listed can be difficult to exit and may not reflect a tradable price.
Timing risk: a company can pause, restart, or abandon IPO preparation at any stage, including after a confidential or public filing, so no step before pricing guarantees a listing.

Has Notion confirmed an IPO date?

No. As of September 26, 2026, no S-1 has been filed for Notion with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, whose EDGAR database tracks only US filings. Crunchbase News' predictive-intelligence tool flagged Notion as a strong near-term IPO candidate on September 2, 2026, but that is a third-party forecast, not a confirmation from the company.

Who is on Notion's new board of directors?

Five independent directors: Jonathan Chadwick, Pat Grady, Gretchen Howard, Christopher Payne, and Patrick Hsu. Notion announced the appointments on June 8, 2026. The company's own blog post that day quoted CEO Ivan Zhao naming all five, and Alex Konrad reported the same appointments for Upstarts, describing the board as Notion's first in more than a decade.

What is Crunchbase News' predictive-intelligence tool flagging about Notion?

On September 2, 2026, Crunchbase News used the tool to name Notion a strong candidate for a near-term IPO. The stated basis was reported strong revenue growth from Notion's enterprise-AI offerings and the company's new board of directors, named three months earlier. The flag is Crunchbase News' own analysis, not a statement from Notion or a securities filing.

Can I buy Notion shares before the IPO?

Not through a public exchange. Notion is a private company, and any private-share offer you come across should be verified independently before you rely on it. Segmara does not sell, broker, or arrange purchases of Notion shares.
